Counter Terrorist Agency

Counter Terrorist Agency is a title that combines real-time strategy with simulation, in which we play the role of the head of a fictional counter-terrorism agency (CTA). The game was created by Play2Chill (formerly WarSaw Games) and was released in digital distribution by PlayWay.

Mechanics

As head of CTA, our task is to prevent terrorist attacks in Europe and America. For this purpose, on the world map we collect information from agents about suspicious activities: numerous queries for information about explosives, contacts with known terrorists, etc. We have drones and strike troops at our disposal, as well as the police of cooperating countries.

The game emphasizes decision making. Potential terrorists can be arrested, killed or observed for long periods of time. However, it is better not to wait too long, otherwise we may not be able to prevent an act of terror. On the other hand, rushed action may result in only the common members of the organisation falling into our hands and the leaders slipping away. Often we will also be able to decide on morally questionable actions, torturing suspects, eavesdropping on private conversations between citizens or ordering the shooting down of a passenger plane taken over by the terrorist.
